Professor Arthur Chans research program will focus on understanding the atmospheric chemistry and health impacts of understudied and emerging pollution sources, including wildfires, cannabis smoke and food cooking. Their contributions to poor air quality in urban areas are poised to exceed those from motor vehicles, especially in indoor environments, where Canadians spend most of their time. Chans group will characterize the chemical composition of emissions, study their atmospheric transformations and assess their toxicities. Better understanding of these sources will lead to effective solutions to mitigate their impacts and safeguard human health.

Arthur chan教授的研究项目将侧重于了解大气化学和未充分研究和新出现的污染源对健康的影响，包括野火、大麻烟雾和食物烹饪。它们对城市空气质量差的贡献将超过机动车辆，尤其是在室内环境中，加拿大人大部分时间都在室内度过。陈的小组将描述排放物的化学成分，研究它们的大气转化并评估它们的毒性。更好地了解这些来源将有助于找到有效的解决办法，减轻其影响并保障人类健康。
